Something's Missing
Glendale College
This intense drama offers a heartbreaking vision of the long-term
effects of abuse. The action chops and changes through different periods
of time as we see how the fictional abduction of Ryan Russell affects
his family - and his abuser - over a quarter of a century. Glendale
College should be proud of this impressive production which teams
excellent acting with a clever use of stage space to create a piece of
drama that is gut-wrenching, frightening and moving in equal measures.
With a script and cast as strong this, their emphasis on set was
somewhat unnecessary, and the awkward scene changes spoiled the tension
that the actors worked so hard to create. Nonetheless, this is extremely
powerful stuff.
Rocket@Demarco Roxy Art House, 21-26 Aug, 6:15pm (7:45pm), prices vary,
fpp 205.
